gary-I noticed you did not include Carrera in your group 5's(the carrera 512 as an example)
B
Carrera 512BB is a legal Group 5 car. I believe Gary overlooked Carrera but did have ",etc" in his list. I'm running a Carerra 935/78.
The Saw
That is true.
gunslinger1352
We don't believe Gary did it on purpose, I'm sure Otis was yelling feed me while he was trying to write the list.When Gary is occupied it is your job to feed and play with Otis-Do your job B.L.:D

I find your offenced position offensive
The Saw
Not my chicken, just following current series rules. Now stop acting like an offended little girl, pick up Phil, and get over here on Saturday. Its better than sitting at home pouting and not racing with anybody. You don't have to like who you race with, but it helps.B)

Whaaaat?

Just letting padre know that he can still race with me no mater how he feels about my offenses.B)

It is my chicken. That was a very difficult choice that had to be made Bob. You see that other 3 generations of Group 5 cars were all driven by men who didn't like the color purple. Denny and I deemed that to be extremely prejudicial and so very offensive that we simply couldn't allow those cars to compete in our series. It just wouldn't have been palatable to us or any of the other club members. Now that you know the horrid truth about the other 3 generations of Group 5 cars, I'm sure you can understand our position. That said, gather up your Gen. 4 cars (you know you have some) and come out to play.

I'd like to defend your offended position Norm.
That is unless you find my defense of your offence offensive.
If that's the case, I have no defense to offer.
